I'm torn. Should I download the FM2 remake for instant gratification or wait for a pre order of a physical copy to be delivered?

It probably won’t take up much memory, may as well download it

Yes finally out! Buying it now.

It was also 10% off, so that also got me off the fence.  The extra goodies that go with physical copy were kinda lame anyways.

After putting in a couple of hours into FM2, I see it needs a little more polish.  The translation so far isn't bad, but it's on the rough side.  I've also run into some glaring typos, which I think is inexcusable with the ease of auto correction today.  Minor niggles aside, the graphic upgrade is better than the one in the FM1 remake, and the sound effects are quite good.  The combat scenes are more dynamic and flow much faster than those in the original game.  Just a much better way to play FM2 than using a modded PS1 and a translated online script.

The 1st remake is gonna get some free single player and multiplayer content:

I think I'm almost done with the FM2 remake.  It's a difficult game for sure.  Much harder than the first game.  It just seems like the RNG has a bias for enemy actions.

I guess the little guy wasn’t enough, so now they’re doing 1/48 kits

Any Front Mission merch is awesome, glad there's interest and keeping the series alive.

Yeah, it’s definitely something I like seeing. These kits aren’t gonna be cheap though. Hobbysearch has it for $79 on preorder. I’ll have to be more selective on these than I was with the little ones.

Man, I wish someone would make diecast versions of these (or if I'm dreaming, specifically the FM3 wanzers.)  Like "Metal Build" or "Hi Metal R" quality type toys.  I don't have the skills or patience to assemble and paint kits anymore.

With the price of their toys, a diecast toy would probably be a thousand dollars.

as far as this kit, it may actually be a mostly simple build. The smaller zenith kits didn’t really have seam lines and this larger one seems to have more color separation and even colored eyes. I don’t know if other sensors are colored or not or if exactly how the construction is set yet, but it looks mostly like an upgrade to the little kit with even better articulation like moving toes. There’s a possibility of not requiring paint at all and may just be an easy slap together kit, but I’ll know more when it actually comes out

Thought I’d stick a few more images to show head options and articulation
